November 24, 200718 yr QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Nov 23, 2007 -> 10:51 PM) Jerry Owens will break the record this season, I can feel it! What about Andy GONEzalez? Id put him at heavy odds of breakin it
November 24, 200718 yr why doesn't Happy Felsh ever get the respect he deserves for being a great slugger?

November 24, 200718 yr I fully expect Jerry Owens to break Thome's record for lefties, possibly as early as this year.
November 24, 200718 yr That was a monster year for AB and fun to watch Actually it was a monster second half during garbage time. 1st half of 1998: .278/.354/.517 18 HR, 66 RBIs 2nd half of 1998: .387/.451/.816 31 HR, 86 RBIs
